Tune the tunes in…

Sound too good to be true that you can have your own recorded music play through an MP3 format while on board your favorite boat on a very nice day on the water?  It’s really not far fetched at all!  Modern technology makes it real easy to accomplish just that.  Why not share the music with the others on board instead of being privately “plugged in” to your music machine!  Quality of sound?  Not a problem.  With your music playing through a quality marine radio receiver and assuming that your boat is equipped with a nice pair of marine speakers and marine subwoofer speakers, you can produce a very high quality of sound.  Check out what’s available in marine audio systems today!

Bright side to tax time?

I do believe that the only bright side to tax time is that it marks the middle of April and I know that somewhere between the 23rd and the 25th each year, the ice goes out on the lake I have my cabin on.  That means that the boats can be put into the water, the docks put in place and anchored, and the preparation begins once again to open up the cabin for the new season!   That is MUCH more fun than having to put everything away in the fall of the year -yuck!  I know a lot of you folks are doing the same, and hopefully you are allowing yourself time to install the proper communication equipment on your boat before launching it this spring!  At least make the effort to check out how reasonable a nice Marine Radio receiver is so you can have incredible music on you pontoon or your boat – played directly from your MP3 pre-recorded format.  …or maybe you already have a nice marine radio, but your choice this season would be to add a nice marine speaker system to your boat or pontoon.  Whatever your choice, take time to assess the needs and the safety of those on board.  Happy Boater

This week I had to go out plowing snow a couple of times.  I guess its not quite spring yet.  I have high hopes that the next 6 weeks will hold a promise of spring, although on the other hand we can enjoy all seasons.  I’ll be taking a long snowmobile ride in a couple of weeks so we don’t want to wish away the winter, either!!  Now, however, is a great time to put together a list of your favorite music and that music you believe your companions on board your boat may enjoy this next boating season.  Its not a mystery that we all don’t like the same music – fact is, some of the “music” I hear on the airwaves nowadays just may want me to JUMP overboard!! (ha-ha)  Since a lot of the marine radios and receivers on the market today have the capability of playing your favorite tunes by simply just plugging in your pre-loaded MP3 player into the unit, you can enjoy a day on the water and also be enjoying your favorite tunes!  Make use of this “downtime” to prepare for your summertime fun!

Speakers with that belly jiggle…

What fun to plug in your latest and greatest mp3 recordings into your marine radio receiver on board as part of the well designed marine audio system you put together!  Your friends will love it!!  Now, my taste in music has changed over the years, but I still really enjoy some good old rock ‘n roll music out of the late 50s or early 60’s as I sit back for an enjoyable afternoon …or maybe some country from around that era.  Maybe some of you like heavy metal (I’ll just be on the other boat – haha).  Whatever your taste in music, there’s nothing like hearing it like it’s supposed to be heard.  Consider installing some Marine Sub-Woofers on board to you can feel the music.  I really don’t know how much it will kill the fishing to turn up the music, but be considerate – make sure you’re not making the neighboring boaters angry with the volume of your music.  Remember – sound travels a long way over the water.  I guess if you did scare away all the fish, you wouldn’t have to clean any fish!  Be safe…
